It is rests upon your shoulders..
Some know it's there..

Others choose to shun it
And find themselves lost..

Only if we could see, open our eyes..
And I do not mean like myself..

Blind in the physical form..
Think before you act..what am I?

You stand before two portals. One of which leads to salvation, the other to damnation (Door A and Door B), though you don't know which is which. Before each of the portals stands a guard. One of the guards is sworn to always tell the truth, yet the other will always lie (Guard A and Guard B).

Before choosing which door to walk through, you may ask 1 question of 1 of the guards (though you do not know which will lie or tell the truth).

What is your question..... ?

Ask one if the other would say that a certain door would lead to damnation.
